Ancient Alien Megastructure The Star That Science Can't Yet Explain

The announcement by scientists this week that "alien mega-structures" might orbit a distant star in the Cygnus constellation has much deeper, long term implications for humanity. In 2011 NASA's Kepler Space Telescope began to record something incredible. It was a star so strange that it has necessitated four years of close observation before any kind of public announcement could be made. That announcement came this week, with the proposal that what could be out there is the first real evidence of sophisticated alien technology. Could alien mega-structures really be orbiting the star KIC 8462852, and could its proposed civilisation have been influenced by the same cosmic rays from the Cygnus constellation behind our own origins as an intelligent species? Are these proposed ancient aliens linked with our own evolution?
